Technical details of the use of population-level fisheries models in evaluating the environmental impacts of hydroelectric projects are described. Population models are grouped into four types, and evaluated in terms of usefulness of results, prediction uncertainty, and data requirements. The four types of models identified are stock-recruitment, Leslie matrix, life-cycle, and individual-based. Each model is discussed in some detail, with sample results and comparisons between models.
